NEWARK, April 7. To the Editor of the Ohio State Journal : The trial of Alfred Jones, the Linn-ville murderer, commenced in this place on Monday, th; 15th inst. Interest in the ciee increase! ao the day approaches. The best legal talent we have is employed. The defense rely in the main to save the old man from hanging on the plea of insanity.Two gentlemen from Pennsylvania were here last week looking the field over with the view of starting another newspaper, Republican, and in favor of the Administration. They expressed themselves as favorably impressed with the place, and the venture ultimately becoming a success. If there is room for another Republican paper here, there certainly ought to be a fine opening for one Democratic. The boye don't swear by the Advocate worth a cent. Dr. Koesvalley, a converted Jew, is to preach or lecture here for a short season, fiie first appearance was at the M.

'What a Staotgnu Would Have Done, Washington Post Standing together in the lobby of the Senate chamber yesterday afternoon, engaged in free and easy conversation, were C, P. Huntington, Colonel Tom Scott, Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon. A few feet away, with his larboard ear elevated to the proper angle of communication.waB .Tnl.n Rnach. A shotgun loaded with .buckshot and discharged by an acconi-iis.h.,1 fowler would have swept the fa nana quintette clear out of the region of intonut in sublunary concerns. At a fair calculation the five men represented not teca than $200,000,000, and could probably have their checks honored for more mouiy than any other five men gathered together in any other city in the country. And ret there are people who say Washington is not a big city. Breaking Gnuge. Railway Age.l An experiment which may result in removing, to a considerable degree, the objection against narrow gauge roads that they necessitate breaking gauge, is being itried on the Denver and Rio Grande rail-Toad that of running standard gauge care on narrow gauge tracks. The trial thus far is said to have proved entirely satisfactory. It is not difficult to con-mtmrt pr hnrliea and trucks BO that they can be interchanged, by means either of a hoisting apparatus or an incuuu, uu the amount of load considered advisable to carry on the lighter trucks, raili and superstructures of the narrow gauge could be readily adjusted. A good deal of interest is being worked up regarding the election of Doorkeeper of the House. The understanding is that le Republicans, nnder the lead of Butler, will present the name of General iSbieVis, in order to make political capital, by .foreing the Democrats to make a choice 'between a Democratic Union Gen eral and A Democratic ex-Confederate General. It is believed the contest will he close. BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATS JOURNAL FOREIGN. Renewal of Inn Troubles In the Eastern nrltlstt Fosaesalous. Londoh. April 7. The news from the Cape seems to have taken a renewal of serious troubles. A telegram dated Capetown, March 19, eays : Severe fighting occurred in Firiebueh yesterday and is still proceeding. It is reported Secocoeni has declared himself openly hostile and besieged two forts in Transvaal. The most serious news has just reached here. Seco-coeni ie a powerful chie', with whom Transvaal was at war prior to its annex tion. His intervention would spread the war to wholly new quarters and very pos-Bibly cause complications with Zula, the King of whom he is a fuedatory and who is etill able to place a small armed and or ganized force of several thousand in the field. Rnssla Regards England's Course as Wavering. London, April 7. Noticing the London Post's declaration of Saturday that the British Government would back up its oircular, but was willing to consider the views of the Viennese statesman, the Journal DeSt. Petersburg says Kusaia can tranquilly regard the waverings ot a nervous policy, while herself maintaining her position unmoved. The St. Petersburg Gazette, a journal published in the Russian language, has received a warning on account of an article inciting war, What Austria and Hungary Are Willing to Do. Abes, April 7. A correspondent at Peslh has bad an interview with M. Tis-zi, Premier of the Hungarian Ministry, who said Austria and Hungary would go to war, if necessary, to prevent the'estab-lisbment of a Slav State on her Southern frontier.

Accounts from the Texan border show that rccantly ihern have bsen but few if any incursions from the Mexican side. The members of flnnireea. who have the subject of our re lations with Mexico under consideration, say the delay of our Government in recog nizinc that Mexico has produced an im- proved condition of affaire, hi because that Government has not vet done whet is re auired bv our own as a pre-rcquisite to the recognition. One of the. most serious causes for complaint is that our citizens are not protested from forced loans, while the British and French subjects residing in Mexico are, it is said, not subject to such illegal transactions, THE PACIFIC FUNDING BILL. It is thought very probable Senator Thurman will secure a vote on his Pacific Eailroad Sinking Fund hill to-morrow night, as he will ask the Senate to set it out. The general impression ie it will be nana? A br the Senate with some amend ments. The first queation will be on the amendment offered by Mr. Blaine, for the concluding section of the Judiciary committee's bill, in these worde: So long as Baid Central Pacific and Union Pacific Railway companies Bhall faithfully com-nlv with the provisions of said acts of 1862 and 1864, and of thiB nt relating to the r.aVlXltcts to v United States on account of bonds advanced and of the (sinking fund to be established as aforesaid.

San Francisco it rejoicing in conibals between a lioness and a bull. In an encounter Saturday, the bull Beeras to have had the bast of it. Frederick W. A. Oaborn, Manager of the Dominion Type Foundry, at Montreal, has been arrested on thecbarze oi emoez- zling the funds of the company. The argument in the case of the Union Trust Company of New York against the St, Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway for foreclosure of a morlgage, which has been in progress in the United States Court iu St. Louis for several days, closed Saturday, and the Court granted until June 1st for the filing ol briefs and abstracts of tho evidence. A decision in the case cannot, therefore, be reached until after that time. The Biring Broth- era, of London, are also interested in the case, and were the instigators of the suit against the Hallway vocpany. of Philadelphia, to induce the House committee on Banking and Currency to recommend his patent "goloid" dollar for adoDlion bv Congress as the "be all and end all" of (he eilyer controversy, has been crowned with that which iiubljell regards as an Banrance of ultimate suc cess. The committee do not regard the "goloid" dollar as a Battlement of the vexed silver queation, but will recom mend that it be submitted for the serious consideration of the International Silver Conference provided for by the Silver act J. Madison UTc-Jls I? employing himself in Washington iu a lively ciiimie in be-half of Anderson for the New Orleans Collectorahip. For some reason there is marked coldness between Wells and Pack ard. Wells plaims that Packard has done little for the party, cowsaiyd cith the rreat labors and sacrifices of Anderson, and also that the latter Bhould be appoint-rd to the office as a vindication. The President may do this, although there is a small prospect that the Senate will confirm him. If this should be the case, it is believed that Packard will be next appointed, and of his confirmation there is less doubt, The steaiucr Sandy Fashion exploded her boiler, twenty minute) before six p. m. Saturday, in the month of Bandy river, killing Joseph Newburgh, of Richmond, Kentucky, and an unknown man, head blown off. Injured Cyrus Preston, clerk; splinter through his wrist, kneecap broken!

Killen, pilot, scalded and arm broken; John Osborn and Lyman Preston, hurt in the head. The boat is a total loss, Robert Price and Will Smiley were the owners. The cargo Fas mostly saved, but much injured, Tho Sandy Fashion was a small steamer plying in tho Cattletts- burg and Big Handy trade. A prize fight between amateure look place at daylight Saturday morning near Chester, on the boundary lino of Penn sylvania and Delaware, The principals were Steve Regnier, a frenchman, and fiharles F. Hurley, a young Irishman. The fight resulted from a feud of long standing, xne stages were ouu, anu nrnbabiv S2000 in all changed bands on the resuit. Both were in fine condition, Regnier tipping the beanj at 163 pounds, and Hurley at 1(J4 pounds. After seventeen roundB had been fought the eighteenth round was called, and the men nrenentad a terrible picture of battered humanitv. Thev were no longer able to guard each other's blows, but weakly strove only to strike. Finally Regnier, in an effort to reach for the Irishman's eye, fell short, slipped, turned half way round, put hie hand lo his head in a dazed sort of way and fell prostrate. He wan aasiated to his corner, and his second threw up the sponge. The bloody fight was over, and Hurley WS declared the victor. The second steamship of the Brazilian lino, thn Citv of Pera. was successfully launched at Roach's ship yard, Philadel phia, Baturday afternoon. Ibe vessel naaaerl oraneltiuv out into ins Bireaiu ahnnt one hundred vards. where she was checked by a tug in waiting. Upward of U3.0j.lU persons witnessed tne launcn, among whom were President Hayes, secretaries Hnhinz. McCrarv and Thompson Governor Hartranit, Mayor Stokely, of Philadelphia; Mayor Ely, of New York; A. P. de Carvalho ttorges, Brazilian Minister, and manv other distinguished persons from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington. Upon the arrival of the President at the depot, he was received by the City Counou and escorted to the ship yard, where he was loudly cheered by the vast assemblage, He was then received by Messrs. John Roach & Bon, and taken on board the ship Rio de Janeiro to witness the launch. After the launch the President and about two thousand of the viBtora were tendered a banquet by Mr, Roach, at which speeches were made by tbe President, Governor Hartranft, William Ward, Representative in Congress from tbe Chester district, John Roach and Mayor Fer-wood. The President's speech was short, and after the banquet he had a general handshaking. Hie reception in tbe city was of the warmest character. He was heartily cheered all along the route. The city waa handsomely decorated, and the whole affair was considered a grand success. - The President and party left on a special train for Washington, Ohio. G. C. Lamb was killed ly the cars at Youngtownon the 6th. The dwelling of David McCoy, near Dresden, waa destroyed Dy ure on me night of the 6th. O. W. Baker, Prosecuting Attorney of Hamilton county, baa resigned, and Lewis W. Irwin has been appointed to nil tne vacancy. Two German forgers, giving their nameB as Fred Marker and John Doe, were ar rested at Cincinnati on the 6th, The for mer was taken while attempting to pass a forged check, and the tatter was picked up on the street with a number of forged checks in his pockets. A Bitavia epfcial to the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday, says : One of the Balient features of the close of the case for the prosecution was the placing in testimony the fact that Dimmitt claimed that checks paid on the 1st of September, 1877. were used bv the Treasurer on Sep tember 3d as evidences of indebtedness, and were so oounted by the Examiner on that day. The statement seemed so preposterous that the prosecution was elated in proving that Dimmitt bad uttered it. To-day, however, the local Treasurers ware all examined in Captain Townsley's careful manner, and the result looks very much as if the "preposterous assertion" was fully borne out. A special from Cambridge eays : Some lime last year two men, named Thomas Stewart and Everett Heskel, were convicted and are now serving a term of sev eral years in the Ohio Penitentiary, for the somewhat notorious roooeryot gennie Archer, near Cumberland, Since their conviction euspicion rested on two other notorious characters, whose names are Orange Petty and Joseph O'Dell, who were arrested ycBterday and brought here, and last night had a preliminary examination before Justice Turner, the testimony being bo conclusive that Joseph O'Dell confessed that he and Petty were the guilty parties, and that the two men who now are in the Penitentiary are entirely innocent of the robbery. Foreign. Cardinal Ginseppe Berandi is dead. He was an Italian, born in 1810, and nominated Cardinal in 1868. The German Emperor's letter to Pope L;o XIII. while extremely courteous in the expression of a willingness to entertain friendly relations with the Vatican, gives no indication of a basis for nego tiations. Intelligence from St. Petersburg seems to indicate that the peace party is acquiring greater influence in the counsel" of the Czir. It is expected the Czar will 'solicit the good offices of the Emperor of Germany as mediator oetween nimseii and England, The Agcnce RuBse says tbe Moscow and St. Petersburg newspapers assail its moderato language, and that of the Jour nal de St. Petersburg. It says the Eng lish Government, by involving Russia's dignity iu the matter, has made it impossible fgr her to yield to England's demands.The question concerning the position of Roumania is beooming more and more embarrassing. It iB said Austria has in timated her desire that the authority ot Russia should be limned as muoh as possible during the patsage of troops through the principality, and that everything should be avoided which might give the character of Russian occupation to' the tenoiW preienco of Imperial troops. The Political Correspondence says it learns from a good source at Bucharest that Prince Charles will reply to Prince GorlBfihakoff 's threats ol the occupation of Roumania and the disarmament of the Roumanian army if the Roumanian Gov ernment protests against the article of the treaty providing for the communication of the army in Bulgaria with Russia through Roumania, as follows ; Tell Prince GortBChakoff that the Roumanian army may be utterly crushed, but so long as 1 live it shall not pe disarmed. There seems to be some hope of the re newnl pf tho Congress negotiations, unless collision Is precipitated ny tne necessity for counteracting the military measures Russia is pushing forward on both sides of the Danube. The position at Constanti nople is regarded as so doubtful, even threatening for England, that a very slight modification of the situation might ba considered to warrant autlon which would be considered a breach of neutrality. As long, however, as Vefyk Pasha remains the Turkish Premier, a Buseo-Turkiah alliance is believed out of the question. Bratlano, the Roumanian Pre mier, inBteaa or returning to xuicnarest, has gone from Vienna to Berlin. In Vi enna it ie believed the Roumanian Cabi net s opposition to Kusiia is real and determined, Tbe publication of theGort-schakolT-Ghlka interviews has aroused general sympathy for Roumania throughout Europe. The Roumanian protest against the treaty of Ban Slefano was pub. liehed in full in the Vienna Politische Corrrespondecz Saturday, but it is not yet known to nave oeen oraciany communicated to the Powers. Kearney's Incendiarism. San Jose Daily Mercury, March 30. Here is one of Kearney's latest: "I hope to God they will get up the Vigilantes again, I just want the authorities to lay low and let us alone, and you will see the biggest fight ever heard of. I would rather see Ban Francisco sink be neath the wave than become the home of Chinese lepers, San Francisco is a proud city. So was Moscow, but she was marked for destruction and laid in aBhes. Our city is built of wood, and if the Vigilantes move one solitary step to break up tue Wnrkinsmen's nartv of California. I pre dict a similar fate for San Francisco." There iB not a pity in America, outside of San Francisco, where such infamous incendiarism as thiB would Is tolerated. Shame on the portion of the San Francisco press that meekly submits to such indignities, A Diamond Found in Alabama ColumhuB (Ala.) Enquirer. 1 Professor J. E. Bassett, of French Broad, North Carolina, who is now in Wctumpka, Alabama, nas a diamond, not only of enormous siz9, but remarka ble purity. It was found by bis wife, Mrs. A. H. Bassett, on the bank of the Cress river. Just below the falls, within the corporate limits of Wetumpka, As soon as the professor exhibited the stone ho was offered $10,000 for it. He had the stone examined by W. J. Preston watchmaker and jeweler, who pronounced it intrinsically worth $75,000. Rnlea for Hospitality. True hosnitalitv is a thing that touches the heart, and never goes beyond the cir cle of generous impulses. Entertainment with the truly bospitaoie man means more than mere feeding of the body; it means an interchange of Boul gifts. Slill it should have its laws, aa all things good must have laws to govern tbem. The obligation to be hospitable is a sacred one, emphaiized by every mortal code known to the world and a practical outcome of the second great command ment. There should never be a guest in the house whose presence requires any con- siderable change in the domestic economy. However much the oircumslances of business or mutual interests may demand in entertaining a stranger, he should never be taken into tbe family circle un lees he is known to be wholly worthy of a place in that sanctum of social life; but when once a man is admitted to the home fireside, ha should be treated as if the place waa hu always. The fact of an invitation gives neither host or gueet right to be master of tbe other's time, and does not require even a temporary sacrifice of one a entire lnuiv- ually or pursuits, A man should never be so much him self as when he entertains a friend. To etav at a friend's house beyond the time for which he is invited is to perpetrate a social robbery. To abide uninvited in a friend a home is as much a misdemeanor as borrowing his coat without his permission. It is debasing the coin ot friendship to mere dross when a man attempts to make it pay his hotel bills, The fact of two men having the same occupation in life gives to neither a social right to tbe other's bed and Dnaru. a traveling minister has no more right to go uninvited to a fellow preacher's house than a traveling shopkeeper or shoemaker has to go uninvited to the house of his fellow craftsman. Men are ordained to the ministrr aa preachers, teachers and pastors, and not as private hotel keepers. Ihey who go into the country as uninvited guests of their farmer friends should be rated as social brigands, and treated accordingly. These lew social maxims are ny no means to be taken aa a complete code of social laws. Others quite as important will Bpring up out of the personal experience of every reader of this article, and the justice and equity of all may be tes- cd by that infallible standard of society the golden rule. There can be no true hospitality that in practice is a violation of this rule; and you may safely rest assured that you have given the fullest and mot uerfect measure of entertainment to your neighbor if you have done exactly as you would bo done by. Tle Present Year, The Orbit.j The year 1878 is likely to be 4nnus Mirabiis. Some say it ia a year very clearly designated by prophecy, and such yeara are very commonly marked by mysterious numbers. See Dr, Mahan's Palmoni a remarkable work. Jbirat 1, 8, 7, 8 the first and scond digits8, and give us, 8, 8, 8 a striking combina tion. But a learned writer, in tne cm-falo Express speaks of other numerical peculiarities worthy of being noted, if only for the use of schools. He Bays; First take our number 1878, and try by what numbers under ten it is divisible without remainder. These are 2, 3, 6, giving the quotients 039, 626, 313. Lst us observe iu passing that these three quotients added together give us back our original number a curious property shared, it appears, by all numbers diviai-. ble by i, 6 and e, out not Dy other num bers. This is a new rule Eds j Write the quotients in columns thus : ' 939 626 313 They mako a square with throe numbers uu a H1MB. .LIUie ium mu iiuujueid uu tuc four sides added togeiher make 40, a very quarc number, although not technically the nquare of an Integer. Now add the digits diagonally. Both the diagonals give on u plus z plus a equals n Now add perpendicularly by digete; we obtain 9 plus 6 plus 3 equals 18, 3 plus 2 plUB 1 equals 6, V plus O plus i equals Jo, or three limes six If now we add thedigite of each quo tient bv themselves (horizontally instead of up and down), we have, beginning with the smallest quotient, tne neries plus t plus 3 equals 7, 6 plus U plus 0 equals 14, 9 plus 3 plus 9 equals 21, that is once, twice, and three times seveo, Now add the middle digit ot the first quotient with the first and last digits ol me otner two. We have, 3 plus 6 plus 3 equals 12 either wav. Again add the middle digit of the second and third with the terminal digits of the first quotient. We have, as before, u-.u L a Q nl,.a 1 anal0 10 Finally add the middle digit' of the first and second quotients with the terminal digits of the last. We have in both cases, 3 plus 2 plus 3 equals 8, and the terminal digits of the first and second, with the middledigit of the third, give 9 plus 6 plus 1 equals lb, or twice eight. Here we pause. Perhaps prolonged in quiry might lpad us tq further surprises; but what we hare noted ia enough to fur-nieh food for thought. Precocious Htrl. May Fair.l An old-iashioned notion that the sim plest plan ia to bring all the young people together, and let them amuse themselves, turns out to be a complete failure. This is not at all what is expected, and even their parents are disappointed witn the fiasco. That an elaborate toilette should end in blind-man's buff is intolerable; and so a children's party only di tiers from full-dress ball in the height of the dancers. The little lady starts for her night's dissipation when Bhe ought to be in bed, ana nas ine cares oi maturity eariy on her mind, lest her card should not be filled qp in tho evening. She reproduces the talk of her molher'e boudoir in the ball-room and can criticise the dress of her vis-a-vis after the best models of well bred disparagement. She distinguishes between the dreamy pleasures of a wallz and the more athletic enjoyment of a gallop, she shows tbe attractions ot super set," and can nirt Willi an air oi ingenue simplicity which migbt sug gest very valuable hinte to her elder Bister. She has a poor opinion of equare dances, knows that her dress may get torn in tbe last ngure oi Lancers, and finds one of "the bores of dancing a quadrille' is that the ngun are always changing. With sedulous care the keeps her programme, and of malice, prepense la able toloBe ner pocket-handkerchief. She is quite up to the method by which an undesirable partner may be courteously avoided, and is care ful to see how a gentleman dancea before she permits bis autograph on her card. When the evening is over, she knows she has utilized her time, and has engaged herself three or four deep for the next children's ball at some neighbors house, A dance in January ia not forgotton in the enBUing monlb, ana ner correspond ence on the 14th of February has refer ence to some remembered event in the night'eentertainment, She has a fine con tempt for her own brothers, and with characteristic precocity, affects a terror of school boys generally, but finds herself quite equal to sustain prolonged conversa tion with her elder sister's admirer. That worshiper having at last withdrawn to tne more appropriate shrine ol uis de votion, she admits to a subsequent partner tbat an tne time Bne waa bored, xnero can be, Bhe says, no real pleasure in talk ing to an engaged man. Why a Woman 1'an't Throw a Stone. The practice of a whole life will not enable a woman to throw a stone with grace and accuracy. It was one of the first and most knotty physiological problems which presented itself to our mind youtbiul why our big sister, wben she tried to throw a snow-ball at us. al most invariably sent it careening over the top of the house, while we, in turn, could pop her in the ear almost every time. It may be that we took a mean advantage of thiB discrimination oi nature in our be half against our sister, and it may be, tbat we improved tbe opportunity to rake her fore and aft whenever ehe came with in firing distance. But that is neither here nor there. As the time passed on and we increased our stock of observa tion, we saw the other fellows' Bisters labored under about the same disadvantages that ours did in the matter of throw ing any kind of missile, Why this marked and unmistakable difference ex isted we never learned until, at a some what advanced period, we dove into a book of physiology, and learned that the clavicle, or collar-bone, in the anatomy of a female is some inches longer and set some degrees lower down than in the masculine frame. This long, crooked, awk ward bone interferes with the full and free action of the shoulder, and that's the reason why a girl cannot throw a atone, The design of this sort of thing is still un explained to our entire satisfaction. We bave developed a theory of our own, bow- ever, that an all-wise and beneficent Prov idence, foreseeing that there would be rolling pins, and stove hooks, and pot lids, and hot water in the world, set the wo man' clavicle down a hitch or two for the safety of men. It's lucky for all of us that women cannot throw stones. How a Stnge-Shrlek Saved an Ac tress from Violence. Emile Guyon, of the Comedie Fran- caise, owed her life, once upon a time, to her presence of mind and talent in shrieking. She and Mine. Marie Laurent had a harrowing mothers' scene at the Porte Saint Martin in "Le File de la Nuit," where shriek was pitted airainst shriek, and Mme, Guyon's final yell, "My child, my child; give me back my child 1" used Idirly to curdle the blood of every one within hearing. She bad been invited to spend a tew days with M, Legouve at Seine Port, but, wben ehe arrived nt CeBson in the evening, she found no one in waiting, 49 ll.oy did not expeot her till next day. She set out to walk along the lonely road, and, at a particularly gloomy epot, was eeii'.d by two men. For a mo ment she was too much etartled to do anything, but her sensesrcturned-prompt-ly, and she threw her whole energy and the full force of her wonderful lungs into one shriek, she did not cry, "Ail Be-cours I" but, as Bhe said, "let off her usual cry, (Mon enfant, mon enfant, rendcz moi mon enlantr" I he highwaymen dropped her, Btuck their fingers in their ears and tied, their hair on end. Such a shriek they had never heard before, and from tne laot that there, was no "eniant" anywhere in sight, they made sure that they had captured a raving maniac, Sanitary Virtues of the Eucalyptus. Professor Lockwood, in Popular Science Monthly for April, says: But it is olsiKwdior tlie eucalyptus that their presence is hygienic, or sanitary, especially in malarial regions. That the E. globulus has earned by fair experiment ita name of fever-tree, as a preventive, BeemB now to be settled. Its rapid growth must make it a great drainer of wet soils, while ita marked tercMnthino odor may have its lcftueuce, and it is highly probable that the liberation of this essence into the air elands connected with its generation of czone. Whatever the sanitary activities of the cucalpytua may be, the fact ia squarely settled that spots in Italy, uninhabitable because of malarial fever, have been rendered tolerable by the planting of E. qlobutus. and it ia believed that a morp plentiful planting would nearly if not quite remove the difficulty. A mili tary post is mentioned in Algeria, in which the garrison had to be ahanged every five days, auph was the virulence of tne malaria, A plantation 01 eucatyptuB cleared the miasma nearly away, and rendered unnecessary the frequent changes of the garrison. In this case 60,000 trees were planted, An Old Bank Depo.it, Nashville American. I Twentyseven yeara atio a lady, now liv ing in this city, deposited $100 in a Philadelphia bank, and had the amount reg. ularly entered in a bank pass-book, She subsequently lost the paBH-book, and be lieving tnai sue couin not a raw me money in consequence cf the absence 01 tbis ev idence ot her deposit, never again went to the bank, in looking over some 01a pa pers in Philadelphia not long eince tbe book was found, and efforts were made to find out whether any of her kinspeople were yet living, but this proved unsuc cessful. At last she was traced to Nash ville. Letters were eccordinely written to her, and ehe was Informed that if she would send a power of attorney to the bank she would receive in return the $100 principal and the accumulated interest $227. She did as directed, and was the happy recipient of an order for $327 and a few cents. The lady is now verging on seventy years ol age. A tlncer marriage story. Allentown (Pa ) Register. A rather romantic occurrence took place recently in the Pottstown postofhee, A prominent clergyman 01 tne Dorougn by accident left his book, containing the formulas of the different ordinances of bis church, lying in the postoffice, where be had gone witn ltin bis band. Discov ering his Iobb, he hurried back, and found it in the hands of a young lady and gentleman, who were reading over the cere- monv of marriage. He jokingly offered to read it to them, provided they would give the proper answers. Tbey consented, thinking the whole very funny. The minister read and the couple replied, to the great delight of one spectator. Alter the reverend gentleman had ceased, he an nounced to the astonished pair that they were legal v married.

The practice of paying sleeping car porters twentylive cents for blacking one's boots and dusting one off with more or lees damage to the clothing aud peraon of the dustee, now and then calls out a broad side of invective from the traveling cor respondent, especially if he is otherwise a "deadhead."

The defense rely in the main to save the old man from hanging on the plea of insanity.Two gentlemen from Pennsylvania were here last week looking the field over with the view of starting another newspaper, Republican, and in favor of the Administration. They expressed themselves as favorably impressed with the place, and the venture ultimately becoming a success. If there is room for another Republican paper here, there certainly ought to be a fine opening for one Democratic. The boye don't swear by the Advocate worth a cent.

Railway Age.l An experiment which may result in removing, to a considerable degree, the objection against narrow gauge roads that they necessitate breaking gauge, is being itried on the Denver and Rio Grande rail-Toad that of running standard gauge care on narrow gauge tracks. The trial thus far is said to have proved entirely satisfactory. It is not difficult to con-mtmrt pr hnrliea and trucks BO that they can be interchanged, by means either of a hoisting apparatus or an incuuu, uu the amount of load considered advisable to carry on the lighter trucks, raili and superstructures of the narrow gauge could be readily adjusted. A good deal of interest is being worked up regarding the election of Doorkeeper of the House. The understanding is that le Republicans, nnder the lead of Butler, will present the name of General iSbieVis, in order to make political capital, by .foreing the Democrats to make a choice 'between a Democratic Union Gen eral and A Democratic ex-Confederate General.

The President's speech was short, and after the banquet he had a general handshaking. Hie reception in tbe city was of the warmest character. He was heartily cheered all along the route. The city waa handsomely decorated, and the whole affair was considered a grand success. - The President and party left on a special train for Washington, Ohio. G. C. Lamb was killed ly the cars at Youngtownon the 6th. The dwelling of David McCoy, near Dresden, waa destroyed Dy ure on me night of the 6th. O. W. Baker, Prosecuting Attorney of Hamilton county, baa resigned, and Lewis W. Irwin has been appointed to nil tne vacancy. Two German forgers, giving their nameB as Fred Marker and John Doe, were ar rested at Cincinnati on the 6th, The for mer was taken while attempting to pass a forged check, and the tatter was picked up on the street with a number of forged checks in his pockets. A Bitavia epfcial to the Cincinnati Enquirer of Sunday, says : One of the Balient features of the close of the case for the prosecution was the placing in testimony the fact that Dimmitt claimed that checks paid on the 1st of September, 1877. were used bv the Treasurer on Sep tember 3d as evidences of indebtedness, and were so oounted by the Examiner on that day. The statement seemed so preposterous that the prosecution was elated in proving that Dimmitt bad uttered it. To-day, however, the local Treasurers ware all examined in Captain Townsley's careful manner, and the result looks very much as if the "preposterous assertion" was fully borne out. A special from Cambridge eays : Some lime last year two men, named Thomas Stewart and Everett Heskel, were convicted and are now serving a term of sev eral years in the Ohio Penitentiary, for the somewhat notorious roooeryot gennie Archer, near Cumberland, Since their conviction euspicion rested on two other notorious characters, whose names are Orange Petty and Joseph O'Dell, who were arrested ycBterday and brought here, and last night had a preliminary examination before Justice Turner, the testimony being bo conclusive that Joseph O'Dell confessed that he and Petty were the guilty parties, and that the two men who now are in the Penitentiary are entirely innocent of the robbery. Foreign. Cardinal Ginseppe Berandi is dead. He was an Italian, born in 1810, and nominated Cardinal in 1868. The German Emperor's letter to Pope L;o XIII. while extremely courteous in the expression of a willingness to entertain friendly relations with the Vatican, gives no indication of a basis for nego tiations. Intelligence from St. Petersburg seems to indicate that the peace party is acquiring greater influence in the counsel" of the Czir. It is expected the Czar will 'solicit the good offices of the Emperor of Germany as mediator oetween nimseii and England, The Agcnce RuBse says tbe Moscow and St. Petersburg newspapers assail its moderato language, and that of the Jour nal de St. Petersburg. It says the Eng lish Government, by involving Russia's dignity iu the matter, has made it impossible fgr her to yield to England's demands.The question concerning the position of Roumania is beooming more and more embarrassing. It iB said Austria has in timated her desire that the authority ot Russia should be limned as muoh as possible during the patsage of troops through the principality, and that everything should be avoided which might give the character of Russian occupation to' the tenoiW preienco of Imperial troops. The Political Correspondence says it learns from a good source at Bucharest that Prince Charles will reply to Prince GorlBfihakoff 's threats ol the occupation of Roumania and the disarmament of the Roumanian army if the Roumanian Gov ernment protests against the article of the treaty providing for the communication of the army in Bulgaria with Russia through Roumania, as follows ; Tell Prince GortBChakoff that the Roumanian army may be utterly crushed, but so long as 1 live it shall not pe disarmed. There seems to be some hope of the re newnl pf tho Congress negotiations, unless collision Is precipitated ny tne necessity for counteracting the military measures Russia is pushing forward on both sides of the Danube. The position at Constanti nople is regarded as so doubtful, even threatening for England, that a very slight modification of the situation might ba considered to warrant autlon which would be considered a breach of neutrality. As long, however, as Vefyk Pasha remains the Turkish Premier, a Buseo-Turkiah alliance is believed out of the question. Bratlano, the Roumanian Pre mier, inBteaa or returning to xuicnarest, has gone from Vienna to Berlin. In Vi enna it ie believed the Roumanian Cabi net s opposition to Kusiia is real and determined, Tbe publication of theGort-schakolT-Ghlka interviews has aroused general sympathy for Roumania throughout Europe. The Roumanian protest against the treaty of Ban Slefano was pub. liehed in full in the Vienna Politische Corrrespondecz Saturday, but it is not yet known to nave oeen oraciany communicated to the Powers. Kearney's Incendiarism. San Jose Daily Mercury, March 30. Here is one of Kearney's latest: "I hope to God they will get up the Vigilantes again, I just want the authorities to lay low and let us alone, and you will see the biggest fight ever heard of. I would rather see Ban Francisco sink be neath the wave than become the home of Chinese lepers, San Francisco is a proud city. So was Moscow, but she was marked for destruction and laid in aBhes. Our city is built of wood, and if the Vigilantes move one solitary step to break up tue Wnrkinsmen's nartv of California. I pre dict a similar fate for San Francisco." There iB not a pity in America, outside of San Francisco, where such infamous incendiarism as thiB would Is tolerated. Shame on the portion of the San Francisco press that meekly submits to such indignities, A Diamond Found in Alabama ColumhuB (Ala.) Enquirer. 1 Professor J. E. Bassett, of French Broad, North Carolina, who is now in Wctumpka, Alabama, nas a diamond, not only of enormous siz9, but remarka ble purity. It was found by bis wife, Mrs. A. H. Bassett, on the bank of the Cress river. Just below the falls, within the corporate limits of Wetumpka, As soon as the professor exhibited the stone ho was offered $10,000 for it. He had the stone examined by W. J. Preston watchmaker and jeweler, who pronounced it intrinsically worth $75,000. Rnlea for Hospitality. True hosnitalitv is a thing that touches the heart, and never goes beyond the cir cle of generous impulses. Entertainment with the truly bospitaoie man means more than mere feeding of the body; it means an interchange of Boul gifts. Slill it should have its laws, aa all things good must have laws to govern tbem. The obligation to be hospitable is a sacred one, emphaiized by every mortal code known to the world and a practical outcome of the second great command ment. There should never be a guest in the house whose presence requires any con- siderable change in the domestic economy. However much the oircumslances of business or mutual interests may demand in entertaining a stranger, he should never be taken into tbe family circle un lees he is known to be wholly worthy of a place in that sanctum of social life; but when once a man is admitted to the home fireside, ha should be treated as if the place waa hu always. The fact of an invitation gives neither host or gueet right to be master of tbe other's time, and does not require even a temporary sacrifice of one a entire lnuiv- ually or pursuits, A man should never be so much him self as when he entertains a friend. To etav at a friend's house beyond the time for which he is invited is to perpetrate a social robbery. To abide uninvited in a friend a home is as much a misdemeanor as borrowing his coat without his permission. It is debasing the coin ot friendship to mere dross when a man attempts to make it pay his hotel bills, The fact of two men having the same occupation in life gives to neither a social right to tbe other's bed and Dnaru. a traveling minister has no more right to go uninvited to a fellow preacher's house than a traveling shopkeeper or shoemaker has to go uninvited to the house of his fellow craftsman. Men are ordained to the ministrr aa preachers, teachers and pastors, and not as private hotel keepers. Ihey who go into the country as uninvited guests of their farmer friends should be rated as social brigands, and treated accordingly. These lew social maxims are ny no means to be taken aa a complete code of social laws. Others quite as important will Bpring up out of the personal experience of every reader of this article, and the justice and equity of all may be tes- cd by that infallible standard of society the golden rule. There can be no true hospitality that in practice is a violation of this rule; and you may safely rest assured that you have given the fullest and mot uerfect measure of entertainment to your neighbor if you have done exactly as you would bo done by. Tle Present Year, The Orbit.j The year 1878 is likely to be 4nnus Mirabiis. Some say it ia a year very clearly designated by prophecy, and such yeara are very commonly marked by mysterious numbers. See Dr, Mahan's Palmoni a remarkable work. Jbirat 1, 8, 7, 8 the first and scond digits8, and give us, 8, 8, 8 a striking combina tion. But a learned writer, in tne cm-falo Express speaks of other numerical peculiarities worthy of being noted, if only for the use of schools. He Bays; First take our number 1878, and try by what numbers under ten it is divisible without remainder. These are 2, 3, 6, giving the quotients 039, 626, 313. Lst us observe iu passing that these three quotients added together give us back our original number a curious property shared, it appears, by all numbers diviai-. ble by i, 6 and e, out not Dy other num bers. This is a new rule Eds j Write the quotients in columns thus : ' 939 626 313 They mako a square with throe numbers uu a H1MB. .LIUie ium mu iiuujueid uu tuc four sides added togeiher make 40, a very quarc number, although not technically the nquare of an Integer. Now add the digits diagonally. Both the diagonals give on u plus z plus a equals n Now add perpendicularly by digete; we obtain 9 plus 6 plus 3 equals 18, 3 plus 2 plUB 1 equals 6, V plus O plus i equals Jo, or three limes six If now we add thedigite of each quo tient bv themselves (horizontally instead of up and down), we have, beginning with the smallest quotient, tne neries plus t plus 3 equals 7, 6 plus U plus 0 equals 14, 9 plus 3 plus 9 equals 21, that is once, twice, and three times seveo, Now add the middle digit ot the first quotient with the first and last digits ol me otner two. We have, 3 plus 6 plus 3 equals 12 either wav. Again add the middle digit of the second and third with the terminal digits of the first quotient. We have, as before, u-.u L a Q nl,.a 1 anal0 10 Finally add the middle digit' of the first and second quotients with the terminal digits of the last. We have in both cases, 3 plus 2 plus 3 equals 8, and the terminal digits of the first and second, with the middledigit of the third, give 9 plus 6 plus 1 equals lb, or twice eight. Here we pause. Perhaps prolonged in quiry might lpad us tq further surprises; but what we hare noted ia enough to fur-nieh food for thought. Precocious Htrl. May Fair.l An old-iashioned notion that the sim plest plan ia to bring all the young people together, and let them amuse themselves, turns out to be a complete failure. This is not at all what is expected, and even their parents are disappointed witn the fiasco. That an elaborate toilette should end in blind-man's buff is intolerable; and so a children's party only di tiers from full-dress ball in the height of the dancers. The little lady starts for her night's dissipation when Bhe ought to be in bed, ana nas ine cares oi maturity eariy on her mind, lest her card should not be filled qp in tho evening. She reproduces the talk of her molher'e boudoir in the ball-room and can criticise the dress of her vis-a-vis after the best models of well bred disparagement. She distinguishes between the dreamy pleasures of a wallz and the more athletic enjoyment of a gallop, she shows tbe attractions ot super set," and can nirt Willi an air oi ingenue simplicity which migbt sug gest very valuable hinte to her elder Bister. She has a poor opinion of equare dances, knows that her dress may get torn in tbe last ngure oi Lancers, and finds one of "the bores of dancing a quadrille' is that the ngun are always changing. With sedulous care the keeps her programme, and of malice, prepense la able toloBe ner pocket-handkerchief. She is quite up to the method by which an undesirable partner may be courteously avoided, and is care ful to see how a gentleman dancea before she permits bis autograph on her card. When the evening is over, she knows she has utilized her time, and has engaged herself three or four deep for the next children's ball at some neighbors house, A dance in January ia not forgotton in the enBUing monlb, ana ner correspond ence on the 14th of February has refer ence to some remembered event in the night'eentertainment, She has a fine con tempt for her own brothers, and with characteristic precocity, affects a terror of school boys generally, but finds herself quite equal to sustain prolonged conversa tion with her elder sister's admirer. That worshiper having at last withdrawn to tne more appropriate shrine ol uis de votion, she admits to a subsequent partner tbat an tne time Bne waa bored, xnero can be, Bhe says, no real pleasure in talk ing to an engaged man. Why a Woman 1'an't Throw a Stone. The practice of a whole life will not enable a woman to throw a stone with grace and accuracy. It was one of the first and most knotty physiological problems which presented itself to our mind youtbiul why our big sister, wben she tried to throw a snow-ball at us. al most invariably sent it careening over the top of the house, while we, in turn, could pop her in the ear almost every time. It may be that we took a mean advantage of thiB discrimination oi nature in our be half against our sister, and it may be, tbat we improved tbe opportunity to rake her fore and aft whenever ehe came with in firing distance. But that is neither here nor there. As the time passed on and we increased our stock of observa tion, we saw the other fellows' Bisters labored under about the same disadvantages that ours did in the matter of throw ing any kind of missile, Why this marked and unmistakable difference ex isted we never learned until, at a some what advanced period, we dove into a book of physiology, and learned that the clavicle, or collar-bone, in the anatomy of a female is some inches longer and set some degrees lower down than in the masculine frame. This long, crooked, awk ward bone interferes with the full and free action of the shoulder, and that's the reason why a girl cannot throw a atone, The design of this sort of thing is still un explained to our entire satisfaction. We bave developed a theory of our own, bow- ever, that an all-wise and beneficent Prov idence, foreseeing that there would be rolling pins, and stove hooks, and pot lids, and hot water in the world, set the wo man' clavicle down a hitch or two for the safety of men. It's lucky for all of us that women cannot throw stones. How a Stnge-Shrlek Saved an Ac tress from Violence. Emile Guyon, of the Comedie Fran- caise, owed her life, once upon a time, to her presence of mind and talent in shrieking. She and Mine. Marie Laurent had a harrowing mothers' scene at the Porte Saint Martin in "Le File de la Nuit," where shriek was pitted airainst shriek, and Mme, Guyon's final yell, "My child, my child; give me back my child 1" used Idirly to curdle the blood of every one within hearing. She bad been invited to spend a tew days with M, Legouve at Seine Port, but, wben ehe arrived nt CeBson in the evening, she found no one in waiting, 49 ll.oy did not expeot her till next day. She set out to walk along the lonely road, and, at a particularly gloomy epot, was eeii'.d by two men. For a mo ment she was too much etartled to do anything, but her sensesrcturned-prompt-ly, and she threw her whole energy and the full force of her wonderful lungs into one shriek, she did not cry, "Ail Be-cours I" but, as Bhe said, "let off her usual cry, (Mon enfant, mon enfant, rendcz moi mon enlantr" I he highwaymen dropped her, Btuck their fingers in their ears and tied, their hair on end. Such a shriek they had never heard before, and from tne laot that there, was no "eniant" anywhere in sight, they made sure that they had captured a raving maniac, Sanitary Virtues of the Eucalyptus. Professor Lockwood, in Popular Science Monthly for April, says: But it is olsiKwdior tlie eucalyptus that their presence is hygienic, or sanitary, especially in malarial regions. That the E. globulus has earned by fair experiment ita name of fever-tree, as a preventive, BeemB now to be settled. Its rapid growth must make it a great drainer of wet soils, while ita marked tercMnthino odor may have its lcftueuce, and it is highly probable that the liberation of this essence into the air elands connected with its generation of czone. Whatever the sanitary activities of the cucalpytua may be, the fact ia squarely settled that spots in Italy, uninhabitable because of malarial fever, have been rendered tolerable by the planting of E. qlobutus. and it ia believed that a morp plentiful planting would nearly if not quite remove the difficulty. A mili tary post is mentioned in Algeria, in which the garrison had to be ahanged every five days, auph was the virulence of tne malaria, A plantation 01 eucatyptuB cleared the miasma nearly away, and rendered unnecessary the frequent changes of the garrison. In this case 60,000 trees were planted, An Old Bank Depo.it, Nashville American. I Twentyseven yeara atio a lady, now liv ing in this city, deposited $100 in a Philadelphia bank, and had the amount reg. ularly entered in a bank pass-book, She subsequently lost the paBH-book, and be lieving tnai sue couin not a raw me money in consequence cf the absence 01 tbis ev idence ot her deposit, never again went to the bank, in looking over some 01a pa pers in Philadelphia not long eince tbe book was found, and efforts were made to find out whether any of her kinspeople were yet living, but this proved unsuc cessful. At last she was traced to Nash ville. Letters were eccordinely written to her, and ehe was Informed that if she would send a power of attorney to the bank she would receive in return the $100 principal and the accumulated interest $227. She did as directed, and was the happy recipient of an order for $327 and a few cents. The lady is now verging on seventy years ol age. A tlncer marriage story. Allentown (Pa ) Register. A rather romantic occurrence took place recently in the Pottstown postofhee, A prominent clergyman 01 tne Dorougn by accident left his book, containing the formulas of the different ordinances of bis church, lying in the postoffice, where be had gone witn ltin bis band. Discov ering his Iobb, he hurried back, and found it in the hands of a young lady and gentleman, who were reading over the cere- monv of marriage. He jokingly offered to read it to them, provided they would give the proper answers. Tbey consented, thinking the whole very funny. The minister read and the couple replied, to the great delight of one spectator. Alter the reverend gentleman had ceased, he an nounced to the astonished pair that they were legal v married. Jhey, However, did not consider the tie binding, and to tally ignored it, Feeing Porters. Railway Ago. The practice of paying sleeping car porters twentylive cents for blacking one's boots and dusting one off with more or lees damage to the clothing aud peraon of the dustee, now and then calls out a broad side of invective from the traveling cor respondent, especially if he is otherwise a "deadhead." There is Bomo reason for soreness on this point, it must be admit ted. Why twenty hve cents ebouta os ex pected for the same service the care for which ten cents tho recognized tariff at a first-class hotel is not very evident, However the fault is with the traveling public who. as a rule, lack the moral etrength to overcome the sense of humiliation and sell-contempt MARRIED.
